The MBT Maresme is the latest wet anaerobic digestion plant for the Organic Fraction from Municipal Solid Waste (MOR -Materia Orgánica Residual), that has been built in Spain, in countercurrent to the observed development towards MBT plants with only composting technology. In the present paper a short presentation of the MBT Maresme is given before the operation experiences during the start-up phase and the guarantee tests are discussed. Despite the challenge the operation of this facility under aggravating circumstances implied, the achieved performance and clearly advantageous energetic balance confirm the integration of a digestion step in MBT plants as a valid and valuable concept.
The history of MBT-AD Plants in Spain as in Europe is a quite painful story. In the last 14 years, since 2001, 30 AD plants were built in the country, of which 4 were never commissioned, 4 are forsaken and 22 are currently in operation. In total, 20 facilities went through a reengineering. As presented in past editions of the Waste to Resources conference, two of them were successfully refurbished by BTA International GmbH and Biotedc Sistemi s.r.l.: the methanization line at Ecoparc I in Barcelona and the methanization line at the Ecoparque Burgos. In total, less than 10 facilities are currently operating at nominal production. Due to this two tendencies can be observed: towards composting as biological step instead of anaerobic digestion followed by composting and away from the treatment of MOR (Materia Orgánica Residual), which is residual waste. Being the main reasons for this difficulties that the AD facilities in Spain where designed as a solution to, the residual waste fraction of selective collection which means that we will have the lowest quality of Organic fraction either for composting or AD. In Counter current to these tendencies, the MBT Maresme was designed to treat organic fraction from MOR through wet anaerobic digestion. This article presents the Technology implemented in MBT Maresme and discusses the experiences during the commissioning and first year of Operation.

Europäische Rechtsvorgaben und Auswirkungen auf die Bioabfallwirtschaft in Deutschland

Bioabfälle machen 34 % der Siedlungsabfälle aus und bilden damit die größte Abfallfraktion im Siedlungsabfall in der EU. Rund 40 Millionen Tonnen Bioabfälle werden jährlich in der EU getrennt gesammelt und in ca. 4.500 Kompostierungs- und Vergärungsanlagen behandelt.

Auch mittel- bis langfristig steht zu erwarten, dass die Kaskade aus anaerober und aerober Behandlung Standard für die Biogutbehandlung sein wird.
Die Mischung macht‘s - Der Gärrestmischer in der Praxis

Zur Nachbehandlung von Gärrest aus Bio- und Restabfall entwickelte Eggersmann den Gärrestmischer, der aus Gärresten und Zuschlagstoffen homogene, gut belüftbare Mischungen erzeugt. Damit wird den besonderen Anforderungen der Gärreste mit hohem Wassergehalt begegnet und eine effiziente Kompostierung ermöglicht.
